Question about lab testing....I have NO places near me to get my blood tested for E levels/Potassium levels. I don't have a high potassium diet anyways, and I've never had a bad effect from the phytoestrogens in the herbs, so would a starting dose of like...100 or 200 mgs daily of spironolactone and 2 mgs progynova work? Oh and that assetchemist place offers a service that they make a prescription for you (that comes from actual doctors) as long as they believe they reasons you gave are good.
ah... then therapy for gay/lesbian issues could have a different meaning from what I hear. :/ Yeah. I'd look for a gender therapist.
I would really discourage you from buying from a site based in the UK.
Everyone's mileage varies in terms of dosing. From my bloodwork, my E is really high considering the dose of estradiol I'm on, but at the same time Spiro is struggling to block my T. If you are going to self med without monitoring, go very very slowly and carefully. Start with just Spiro. 100mg would be fine for a week. Just to see if you have any bad reaction to it. You can split the pill and have half in the morning and half in the evening (it has a really short half life). After that, assuming you feel fine, you could try adding 2mg progynova. Stick with that combo for a month (again, assuming you do not have any negative side effects, in which case stop immediately). Then after that it is going to be guess work on how to up your dose. :/
